N the slope-intercept form you use the slope of the line and the y-intercept to express the linear function.
y=mx+b
y=mx+b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Example
Graph the equation
y−2x=1
y−2x=1
rewrite in slope-intercept form
y=2x+1
y=2x+1
Identify the slope and the y-intercept
m = 2 and b = 1
Plot the point corresponding to the y-intercept, (0,1)
picture23
The m-value, the slope, tells us that for each step to the right on the x-axis we move 2 steps upwards on the y-axis (since m = 2)

And once you have your second point you can just draw a line through the two points and extend it in both directions.
picture25
You can check to see that the line you've drawn is the correct one by substituting the coordinates of the second point into the original equation. If the equation holds true than the second point is correct.
Our second point = (1, 3)
y−2x=1
y−2x=1
3−2⋅1=3−2=1
3−2⋅1=3−2=1
Our second point is a solution to the equation i.e. the line we drew is correct.
A line that passes through the origin has a y-intersect of zero, b = 0, and represents a direct variation.
y=mx
y=mx
In a direct variation the nonzero number m is called the constant of variation.
You can name a function, f by using the function notion
f(x)=mx+b
f(x)=mx+b
f(x) is another name for y and is read as "the value of f at x" or "f of x". You can use other letters than f to name functions.
A group of functions that have similar characteristics are called a family of functions. All functions that can be written on the form f(x) = mx + b belong to the family of linear functions.
The most basic function in a family of functions is called the parent function. The parent function of all linear functions is
f(x)=x
A) A ratio system
B) The 4 lb peanuts and the 1 lb mixture because the 4lb added to the 1lb of mixture give the correct percentages.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of parallelogram = base * height
= 12 * 8
= 96 cm²
Area of parallelogram = 96
base * height = 96
base = 96/height
base = 96/16
base = 6 cm
Answer:b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The P value indicates that the probability of a linear correlation coefficient that is at least as extreme is 0.3% which is not significant (at α = 0.05), so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between weight and consumption. of highway fuel in cars.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the correlation coefficient shows the relationship between the weights and amounts of road fuel consumption of seven types of car, now the P value establishes the importance of this relationship. If the p-value is lower than a significance level (for example, 0.05), then the relationship is said to be significant, otherwise it would not be so, this case being 0.003 not significant.
The statement would be the following:
The P value indicates that the probability of a linear correlation coefficient that is at least as extreme is 0.3% which is not significant (at α = 0.05), so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between weight and consumption. of highway fuel in cars.
